FeedBurner Konfabulator Widget

Update: I've just added a quick addition. There's now a new icon next to the change id (aka search) icon. A click of the arrow icon should send you to the FeedBurner home page. Also, I've created a permanent page for the widget. All updates will be available there.

On a request, I put together a really quick Konfabulator widget that displays your circulation number. This is v0.1 material, that's for sure. I heavily hacked the Stock Ticker widget that comes with Konfabulator just to get this together quickly. By default it loads my info but you can easily change that via the context menu or via the search icon in the top right.

Well, without further ado, download the widget. Like my last post, you'll need the FeedBurner Awareness API turned on for your feed for this to work.

Some quick notes, if it can't find the feed or hasn't loaded it yet, it'll simply display an asterisk (*). If it can't connect to the network, it should show two hyphens (--). Yeah, it ain't pretty.

Excellent! I'm often green-eyed when I see some of the really neat Dashboard widgets out there which aren't available in Konfabulator (and or just aren't technically possible to make with Konfabulator).

Thanks so much for making a Konfabulator widget of this (and for making it available to the rest of us)

Hey bob, all that you need to do to get the widget to work with your feed is to take your feed name and either click on Change Feed ID from the context menu or click on the search icon. In looking at your site you'd put spasportsshift in the box and then click Save. After a second or two, you should see a number pop up in the widget. This shows your circulation numbers.

I haven't been here for a while and I see another useful post from Jonathan. I am interested to see a screenshot of the Widget, but the link from Jhon P. is dead.
Anyway, it seems the widget is good and I will implement it too.
